| Wingspread Interior. This interior shot of "Wingspread" that Wright designed for Herbert Fisk Johnson Jr. of the Johnson Wax family says about every thing you could want to know about his talent.
He was absolutely brilliant. He could take pencil to paper and see in his mind how well the lighting would work in this room. It was a skill that most architects would have to wait 60 years for computer technology to catch up to be able to match him.
He was decades ahead of his time. While he knew that this is how he wanted these windows, it would be decades before a calking compound good enough to make them work well would be invented. Until that time the windows leaked a lot requiring constant reapplications of caulk.
He was eccentric and that was central to his designs. In this case the vertical fireplace was an example of art triumphs practicality. The first time it was used, predictably the logs burnt at the bottom first dumping burning logs into the living room. The first time it was used was also the last time it was used.
The stair case here is child sized. It went up to a Plexiglas dome that was there for Samuel Curtis Johnson, Jr. to watch for his father who was a pilot. |

| Worden EVA. Worden holds two world's records that are still standing as of 2020
His lunar orbit at one point had him 2,235 away from the rest of the Apollo crew on the moon. The Guinness Book Of World records" declared him to be the "most isolated human being".
On the return trip he performed an extravehicular activity (EVA), or spacewalk, to retrieve film cassettes from cameras on the exterior of the spacecraft. It was considered the first "deep space" EVA in history, it took place 196,000 miles from Earth. By comparison the astronauts working outside the international space station are at a maximum of 255 miles away.
This frame from a 16MM film represents the best picture made of him during that portion of the mission. |
